MD260C16D3-BP

Overview

The MD260C16D3-BP is a general-purpose silicon diode module manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a D3 package and is rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1600V with a maximum average forward rectified current of 260A. The component utilizes standard recovery technology and is designed for chassis mounting applications requiring high-power rectification capabilities in industrial environments.

Feature Summary

• High current handling capability of 260A
• Robust 1600V reverse voltage blocking
• Standard recovery silicon construction

Applications

• Industrial power supply systems
• Motor drive rectification circuits
• Inverter input stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BP against the manufacturer's latest documentation to ensure compliance with RoHS standards and material composition requirements. Confirm that the D3 package dimensions match the intended chassis mounting hardware before integration into the final assembly design.

Selection Notes

Select this module when the application demands high voltage isolation combined with substantial continuous current capacity. Ensure the thermal management system can dissipate heat generated at full load, as the D3 package requires direct chassis contact for effective cooling performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MD260 series of power diode modules from MCC. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining a consistent 260A current rating across different models, providing designers with standardized mechanical footprints for scalable power electronics designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for MD260C18D3-BP or MD260C12D3-BP if voltage requirements differ. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substituting with other manufacturers' equivalents.
